Best 18” driver for ported enclosure

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Looking to build two double 18” ported enclosures. They will be permanently mounted outdoors but protected from direct weather so waterproof cones are a must. Since they are outdoors I am thinking tuned to 40 or 45hz? I will be playing mostly rock, country, blues. I only have about 800watts per driver so nothing crazy. Ferrite will be fine because I will not be moving them and they are less expensive. Size and weight is not a concern. 8 ohm. What would everyone recommend for drivers and box design for best sound quality. Budget is around $300 per driver.
